February2012 Newsletter

First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy, peaceful and prosperous 2012.

This newsletter celebrates OW2's fifth anniversary. Launched exactly five years ago, OW2 is now well recognized as a leading global independent open source organization. I woud like to thank all our members who helped to make this possible through their loyal support and contributions.

These are exciting times for OW2 as our momentum builds. But, we know it is also a critical time as we must keep our focus on delivering value to our members. With this in mind, we will continue to improve OW2 in 2012 by working more closely with our members, completing the deployment of the SQuAT quality program, leveraging our collaborative projects to enhance our cloud computing positioning and, on the event side, growing non-community attendance at COSW and OW2con and investing in events in Latin and North America.

A couple of housekeeping notes: we are opening a new position in the OW2 Management Office for a Collaborative Project Manager, our elections will be held between February and March and our General Assembly on March 28, in Paris.

All the team at OW2 wish you and your families a very happy and successful new year and we look forward to working with you in 2012.
